Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 9, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,873 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 211 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (137 of 260). Evening rush dominates here: 1,636 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,366 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,366 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,636 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2018, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Feb 4, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
